OpenBSD has it’s strong suit and niche of Agency and Department usage across the world and does not give one snap, crackle, or pop about “users”. Thems the beans.

Also, I should sponsor Gentoo this is bad news and a harbinger.

Quote from the subtitle of the article

and you can’t stop it.

Don't ever let life-deprived, perspective-bubble wearing, uncompassiontate, power hungry manipulators, "News" people, tell you what you can and cannot do. Doesn't even pass the smell test.

My advice, if a Media Outlet tries to Groom you to think that nothing you do matters, don't ever read it again.

It gets worse. Not having used my Gmail account for years, old phone died, moved to another state with new number there, and I traveled back to Los Angeles in order to log in on the same network, same laptop, correct password, but I put a new HDD in my Macbook Pro which caused Apple to re-ID the OS, and locked out! No way to recover, I try twice a year. Will not even reset to the correct backup email I have! I just get an email saying I tried to login with no actions possible!

Google stole parts of my life from me, the history in those emails, wow!

STOLEN

I AM NOT MY PHONE

Also, it's the language scam of the decade to have a [privacy] agreement or terms with a "third party" which is basically anonymous/anyone/indeterminate/changing/.

Canva is on the traditional corp Extend, Embrace, Extinguish mission to snuff Digital Content Design that is local only and has no AI. Canva bought Affinity Design Suite, which was the reaction of the non-corp creative world to not have to Adobe Creative Cloud, may it burn.

I believe we are in the era of "the great rug pull" of consumer empowered technology, moving to corp empowered technology stack, with them in control at all levels.

Best breadcrumb from article:

I wanted to understand: what kind of human spends their days exploiting our dumbest impulses for traffic and profit? Who the hell are these [SEO/Google] people making money off of everyone else’s misery?

"Ng said the idea that AI could wipe out humanity could lead to policy proposals that require licensing of AI"

Otherwise stated: Pay us to overregulate and we'll protect you from extinction. A Mafia perspective.

I recently invented a "People First" Cybersecurity Vulnerability Scoring method and I called it CITE, Civilian Internet Threat Evaluation with many benefits over CVSS. In it, I prioritize "exploit chains" as the primary threat going forward. Low and behold, this new exploit, although iOS, possibly one of the most sophisticated attacks ever using one of the longest exploit chains ever! Proof positive!

Depending on how you define it; I define the Kaspersky diagram has 8 steps. In my system, I define steps that advance the exploit discretely as stages, so I would evaluated Triangulation to be a 4 stage exploit chain. I should tally this attack to see how it scores and make a CITE-REP(ort).

You can read about it if interested. An intersting modeling problem for me was does stages always equate to complexity? Number of exploits in the chain make it easier or harder to intrusion detect given that it was designed as a chain, maybe to prevent just that? How are stages, complexity, chains and remediation evaluted inversely?

Huge if true! You could conceivably submit your phone to a Cybersecurity company and share in any reward.

Help us with:

• Your OS Version
• OS settings that are possibly related
• How you obtained Signal
• Signal version
• Video proof
• Steps to reproduce

Who knows how to compute a hash for an installed mobile phone app? We need to compare it with legit.

Total bullshit, this is just another PsyOp for regulations. Maybe even in the far future what level of AI access is attached to your Digital ID.

Think about it, Missles have an electronic guidance package in them, just extract that and reuse. Or RE that part. Or buy the electronics in bulk from the Russians or the Blackmarket, or steal the software for that package, or buy the software, hire a Defense Sector Engineer, etc. etc.

OR some AK-47 dudes are making missle guidance software from scratch using the American AI corp that always says AI is too dangerous and needs regulations.

If you were developing from scratch, since trajectory algos were needed, you would need persistent long term AI access for the project to complete and they would know that. A beefy local setup would be way more secure. A beefy hosted but private instance would be way more secure.

But sneak-prompt Claude? Give me a break.

Just imagine yourself saying this to another person: “I heard the Houthis were using Claude Fable”

I mean c’mon ya’ll, tell me you can see through this.

Yes, I'm serious about my mission statement in the beginning and I have some more ideas. First there is a Linux OS that installs all kinds of Educational Software, like Encyclopedia, Maps, Learning Tools that is all available offline in the full 17GB Full Version. It's called Endless OS (no affilitions) and here is the excerpt.

Multi-language system, pre-loaded with apps in English including games, productivity software, reference materials like Cooking, Farming, Health, Travel, and educational materials like a robust Encyclopedia.

It would be great if all of us could have some of the civilization important databases on this BSD installation of yours. Please contribute a downloadable database file or file set you know of. I'll start.

• Women hide thier skin, lips, and age
• Men hide thier jawline with beards and their insecurities are buried so well, they forget it themselves as a defense mechanism hoping the mental/emotional weakness will "heal" by next confrontation
• Humans hide thier weakness,
• Thier competitive business plans
• Patents until they are published
• Who are you falling in love with at the start
• Exactly how much you are attracted to a person
• Who you have a crush on
• Your answer to a $10,000 competition
• Your lottery ticket
• The location of your gold and gun
• The location of your child when allowed online

• Inventions until it's marketed
• Science Fair Project until it's unvieled
• Presents until they are opened
• Your private parts
• Your private thoughts on your marriage

Have you ever grabbed a childs private parts? NO of course not, because you INNATELY UNDERSTAND even though you are not a parent and don't remember being one yourself. In fact you understand it so well that if you were to do so publcally, you're putting your life at risk.

CONCLUSION: Privacy is natural and helps give confidence and security to an individual but they want access to your weaknesses and privates anyway.

EVIDENCE: Privacy Violation is a specific tactic meant to break people ...IN PRISON..since they begining of time, Gulags.

P.S. Stop showing nude baby pictures at reunions to those that did not raise or grow up with the child in the family who already saw them naked, and only while they are still a child and not a teenager, otherwise that is a serious privacy violation. In fact, just don't take the picture, where did you even get that you lazy lubricated louse.

So proud of you NetBSD, this is why I sponsor you, slam dunk for the future. I'm working on a NetBSD hardening script and Rice as we speak, great OS with some fantastically valuable niche applications and I think, a new broad approach I'm cooking up, a University Edition. I did hardening for all the other BSD, I saved the best for last!

[EDIT 5/16/2024 15:04 GMT -7] NetBSD got Odin lang support yesterday. That totally seals the NetBSD deal for me if I can come up with something cool for my workstation with Odin.

If you would like to vote on whether, or by what year, AI will be in the Linux Kernel on Infosec.space:

If a person breaks into a Industrial Plant and steals $10000 worth of computer hardware and the software that was on it, they go to jail for a long time during which they are not allowed much if any "profits"/income. When a Corporation steals $100million, they pay the other company and gain even more money if they are in market dominate position.

This exchange of money from thief to victim however misses compensating the most aggrieved party, the marketplace > users > you. Really overall though, Civilization loses.

The problem with the Corporate Legal System is that once something like this is found to happen, morally, ethically, and to secure the future of Civlization, the thieving company should be shutdown in 6mos and all assets put up for auction.

Corporations have legal "personhood", but it seems to be just the best parts. Since this is well known to nVidia CEO Jensen Huang maybe he just said to himself, "It's just Business".

OH, it was been a long time coming seeing this type of headline again, it's....glorius!

Microsoft is most years a #1 and sometimes a #2 Funder of: Rust, Python, and Linux. Are those destined for an E^3 "rug pull" too? Will it ever stop this kind of behavior, consistently conforming our behavior to itself with the money and industry position it leverages?

Don't forget in calculating that industry position that OpenAI is now able to contract to the DoD for offensive capability.

I tried this in my Grasp account, a search engine that is pre-loaded with all the Hacker News blogs and other select technical website, and builds results in associated degrees of relations from there. It came up with 8 repos searching for:

Also I want to say, your scenario is troublesome that GitHub itself could not come up with a satisfactory answer. Strange.

Welcome to the real world.

What that user is describing is very serious. They are saying iOS can reach into Signal and extract data.

This gets a vote from me for "Best of the Internet 2024", brilliant pacing, super braced, and with precision bluntness. I'm going to pretend the Monero remark is not even there, that's how good it was.

When you find out you were only good because you drank the trillion dollar brand Kool-Aid.
